If you are challenged by the current weather forecast, we suggest you consider it a great excuse to spend a day in a conference room. Alternatively, you can draft an abstract while petting a cat, snuggling up under a blanket. Here are some ideas on how to explore these opportunities.

Events
UCL Annual Privacy Lecture 2024
University College London‘s (UCL) Institute of Brand & Innovation Law will hold its Annual Privacy Lecture 2024 on „AI-Enabled Crime“ on Wednesday, January 31 2024. As the organisers explain, generative AI is changing cybercrime in the form of deepfakes, automated phishing at scale and region-free scams. Next, we're likely to see fully automated malware campaigns, using machine learning. Most cybersecurity systems already heavily use AI. Once the attackers migrate to AI, attack and defence online will become a game of a robot against a robot. That said, the lecture aims to tackle the issue of defence against cyberattacks, as a never-ending race. The event will be held in person at the UCL Faculty of Laws (Bloomsbury, London, followed by a reception) and on-line. More information and registration details can be found here.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
